Well we won't have to fear about the vocal range for one thing, since Dylan has a rather limited range as well, but a very distinctive voice - so has BF, in a different (and to me, more exciting) way. As to his singing abilities: he may not beat himself to "Over You" or "Same Old Scene" heights anymore, but he has a very good middle range. There are enough songs to sing with that. Witness Lou Reed, a master of Sprechgesang. "The Times..." sounded solid on the first few hearings, and to me the cool, yet sensitive vocal was the best thing about it. I'm sure there'll be a couple of great versions on it. And who believed we'd ever get an album from him record quicker than the first Roxy album? So, let's not write it off before we've heard it...

One is a compilation of TV appearances, promo videos and live footage of Roxy Music. The other DVD is a documentary on Roxy Muisc with new interviews with Bryan, Phil, Andy, & Paul as well as many others who have worked with Roxy in the past. The documentary DVD will be similar to the 'Classic Album' releases that I have seen on U2 'The Joshua Tree', The Who 'Who's Next' and Jimi Hendrix 'Electric Ladyland'. The Roxy DVD won't be about a specific album but about the whole career. Both these DVDs have not been finalised in terms of track listing, artwork etc and therefore no fixed release date is scheduled yet despite what some online retailers have intimated. I would presume these have been held up due to the Ferry album leap frogging the Roxy album and all attention has been turned to 'Dylanesque'. I would also presume the release schedule for these DVDs would tie in with the promotion of the Roxy album later this year.
